Do any of your chapter members plan to attend or present at the PME National Meeting this year? We had three presenters at JMM in 2025 (Zoe Erpelding, Lucas Brandt, Valon Haslem) and we expect Valon and other new/returning members (e.g. Malia Recker) to present next year in DC.

Do you have any news about current students or recent graduations? For example, scholarships or other awards, acceptances to graduate school, paper presentations at conferences, etc.
Lucas Brandt will be going to Notre Dame for graduate school to study applied math. Zoe is also planning to attend graduate school.

If you were awarded a PME Lectureship, Conference, or Prize Grant within the past year, please briefly describe the results.
We were awarded a $100 matching prize grant which was used to purchase Even Quads card deck prizes for our Mathematics Department award winners and also used to fund prizes for the Integration Bee. Thank you!
